I came to Verretts in July of 2009, 35lbs heavier. I had just given birth to my 3rd child 4 months prior and had been fighting to lose the weight. I belong to a gym, but it was boring and I had no motivation to go! I needed somthing different.
I had a few friends that belonged to Verretts and when they suggested I try a kickboxing class, i decided this might be what I need. After the 1st class I was hooked and have been ever since!! It was so awesome! It was not like any workout I have ever attempted. Michelle, Randy and Edy made every workout INTENSE, yet fun and exciting. I seriously couldn’t wait to get back to a class.
I still have the same feeling today. I attend most classes and they continue to challenge and push me!
The classes are geared to all shapes, sizes and ages, that’s what makes it so great! Not only that, but you are made to feel welcome, like part of the Verrett family! Everyone is so friendly and we all motivate each other.
Verrett Family I am grateful for all the encouragement, love and support! You guys are SUPER AWESOME! Thanks too, for making me a part of your GKB CREW!
HUGS, your Go Girl, Jen Jen!

I have been going to Verrett’s on and off since they opened up, taking both Cardio and Kenpo classes, and since the beginning both Randy and Michelle have made the studio a VERY family friendly environment. I recently signed my nephew up for the Kenpo class, and the Jiu-Jitsu classes, and he enjoys learning from Randy and Andre the Jiu-Jitsu instructor, and always looks forward to going to his classes. Michelle, Randy and Edy, always make the Cardio classes fun exciting, and challenging, yet they are always making sure the newbies feel comfortable in the class. I would not go anywhere else nor would I recommend any other school. If you want a fun family based environment, with friendly instructors then this is the place for Kenpo Karate, MMA, Jiu-Jitsu, and Cardio Kickboxing.

What more is that Randy & Michelle are such amazing people, very much like family.. AND.. all the people that work out here are so kind too.
Thank you Michelle, Edy & Randy for all that you do =)Hugs..

I am 46 years old now. I used to work out, then I had kids, and they worked me out. They are older now, and I was starting to feel my age and I didn’t like it! I needed to get in a good exercise routine, but am not self-motivated when it comes to exercise. I started doing cardio-kickboxing at Verrett’s a few months ago. I have already seen an improvement in my endurance as well as my physical shape. I feel stronger and healthier. I’ll never be too old to take care of myself. Thanks Verrett’s for helping me do that!

I had been working out at home with an elliptical and free weights but doing the same thing every workout. I heard from a friend about Verretts and after driving by the signs on Balfour every day I thought I’d give it a try. My friend and I set a date for our first workout together…it ended up being my birthday (October 2009). (Side note: for me to workout on my birthday is saying a lot right there about me being motivated from the start). I was in need of a change and looked forward to a new beginning in my workout regimen and overall health. I walked away from the first class, purchased my pink gloves and knew I was hooked.
Now almost one year later I can say that Verretts has really changed my life! I love that each class is different depending on Michelle or Randy and what they focus on that day. New elements are incorporated so you don’t get bored and it’s never the same. Whether it be bags, weights, jump rope, medicine ball, paddles or sticks you’ll get a full body workout and leave feeling exhilarated. I can’t say enough about the new friends I have met through this family atmosphere that make it so much fun to workout. Thank you to Michelle and Randy for all that you have done and for showing me that working out can be fun! -

I think one of the problems most people have when it comes to working out, is they get bored with their routine. Some would even say they work out daily and don’t see any results and that can get discouraging really fast. The cardio kickboxing program at Verrett’s is one of the best workouts. I am a fan of in home workouts and I have a ton. Why go to a gym when I can work out at home? That was how I thought until I tried Michelle’s class over a year ago. I was hooked and have made it my best to go to class at least 3 to 4 times a week. Each workout is different and you will never find yourself tired of the routine because each time you are working out a new muscle or body part. Michelle and Edy (Randy too when he teaches) have different types of teaching styles which constantly brings variety. We are doing so many things during class that before you know it class is over and you are covered from head to toe in sweat, which in this case is a good thing.
My husband Andre also teaches the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program at Verrett’s so we have gotten to know Randy and Michelle on a personal level and we consider them and their boys our family as we know they consider us and our children theirs. Here you will find a bunch of stand-up people who will want you to succeed at your fitness and martial arts goals. Michelle and Randy ROCK!
Come check us out, you will love it

I LOVE Verrett’s! I’ve been a member for 4 years now! The cardio kickboxing classes truly are the best workout that I’ve ever had. Every class is fun, energetic and addicting! I never get bored cause each class is unique and we’re always doing new techniques to challenge ourselves. The instructors motivate you and honestly believe in you! I have referred many friends to Verretts and they all love it. If you want a real workout and also want to learn self defense, come try out a class…you won’t be let down and I can assure you that you’ll be back for more!
Love you Randy and Chelle…thank you for kickin’ my butt back into shape
GIRLS KICK BUTT!

So my oldest daughter Makenzee has been a part of
the Verrett’s karate kenpo/jui jitsu classes since the age of 8. She is now 13 years old, and the martial artist that she has become during these last few years is phenomenal! The Verrett’s have given Makenzee many strengths which will carry her through her life! She is not only extremely focused in her training there, but has more importantly gained self confidence, so should ever a bad “situation” occur, she would know how to defend herself with multiple attackers. This helps put a moms mind a little more at ease! The studio definitely has become a second home to us, and we highly recommend Verrett’s to anyone! During the last year and a half, we also have enrolled our smallest one Francesca who is currently six years old, and gas had the same success there as her older sister! The two of them are having an amazing time going to the tournaments, and hope to do nothing but succeed. Thank you Randy and Michelle for being like a second family to us and for giving our girls such an amazing talent! You guys are the best!!!!

I had a few friends who told me to come try the cardio kickboxing classes at Verretts. I had to wait a few weeks because I had just had a baby, my 3rd . I decided to try it and I am very happy I listened to them. The workouts are fun, intense, but not too hard that the average person cannot make it through a class. Everyone was very friendly, so the atmosphere is comfortable. I began to watch my eating and very quickly lost 25 lbs. It is by far the funnest workout ever, and I look forward to going everytime. I am only able to go a few times a week and I still get excited everytime I get to go. It is really fun to see your body transform , it is very motivating, and almost becomes addicting. Thanks to all instuctors for knowing your stuff, wanting to share it and help others along in their journey to fitness. Verretts is great !

I started taking cardio kickboxing at Varrett’s in April of 2010. I was actually thinking of joining a gym because I love cardio classes, and then a couple of friends of mine told me about Varrett’s. They said it was the best work out ever so of course I had to try it out. After the first class I was hooked. The workout is awsome and it is never the same, every day we do something different which I love! You will never get bored, the music in the class is great, it’s loud and it makes your body want to move! The people that go there are awsome and the instructors are the best Iv’e ever seen. The class is so motivating. Besides it being the funnest workout ever this class will whip your body into shape. In my first week I think I noticed about 5 new muscles in my body that I never worked out before because they were so sore! I have gained a ton of muscle, I feel strong, healthy, and confident more than I have ever felt in my life. I also have a new confidence that I have never had before and that is self protection. I wish I would have taken before and after photos. I am so thankful for Varrett’s!

I’m one of those people that gets bored very easily when it comes to working out, that was until a friend introduced me to Verretts! I can’t even begin to expalin how GREAT the workouts are!! I have been going for about 2 months and have noticed such a change in my body, but most importantly the way I feel
I have energy and can keep up with my two little ones better than ever now! The instructors are truly amazing, not one class has ever been the same and they can get you movin’ and sweatin’ like no other! You workout muscles that you didn’t know you had, and the results are awsome!! The classes become addicting and the people become family! I’m so thankful for Randy and Chelle!! xoxo
I started w/ Verrett’s around 5 years ago. I had just moved back to Brentwood from San Jose and I had just had twins and they were just one when I moved back to Brentwood. I was extremely overweight after having the twins and could not lose my weight. I use to see Verrett’s sign on Walnut driving back and forth between Brentwood and San Jose. So when I moved into town I decided to give it a try. The first time I tried it, I was hooked. It reminded me of where I use to train in San Jose before I had the twins. I also liked that it is very family oriented and Michelle and Randy were always encouraging. I believe the first day I tried it, I signed up for a year…I didn’t even hesitate and I lost 25lbs just working out there. Like I said I have been there 5 years and Michelle and Randy are awesome instructors and everyone is very friendly. It really does have a family atmosphere. I know that it is a Martial Arts studio but it is also very peaceful there. I call it my home away from home. Thanks for all you do for me, Michelle and Randy. Thanks for believing in me. Love you all!
